Friends are just as important to young people as their parents so it’s well worth making sure they know how to make good friends and understand what being a good friend means.
This book is full of useful advice, presented in an accessible and reassuring way, to steer them through the ups and downs of different friendships. For young people who struggle with shyness or anxiety, there’s a whole chapter on how to make friends, full of useful, practical advice and tips, while the chapter on social media will help even the most confident and outgoing manage their online life.
Equally helpful will be the chapters on friendship break ups and the one on fake friends. The tone and approach is just right for readers aged 11 and up, calm, matter-of-fact and, naturally, friendly.
Friendships are of vital importance for all age-groups and good friendships go hand-in-hand with good mental health. But what is a friend, and why do we need them so much?
Read the full description
This insightful guide explores how we can make friends, how we can keep them, what makes a good friend and whether we need best friends. It provides advice on recognizing fake and toxic friendships, surviving fall-outs and break-ups, and building resilience while successfully navigating the choppy waters around tribes, cliques, groups and gangs. There's also help for those coping with bullying and unkind behaviour, both on and offline.
A vital guide on friendship on and offline with expert advice from a Clinical Psychologist.
'Accessible, friendly and well-pitched for children of 11-plus, although I suspect parents will find it just as useful.' - The Bookseller
